THE LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST
Latest member of Arquid. How do I describe my self ?
Voyeaur architect by profession and creative by vocation. Sick of order, perfectionist and enthusiastic of teamwork. Conscious landscaper and crazy about design at work and life. Eager to live abroad.
Fan of television series, films and sound montage of it. Social person and public relationship.
So here I am, my first entrance in the blog will be a scene of great film. Areally special film, a current view of black cinema with a singular sensitivity wher music, color , story and a little bit of dialogue wich is more than enough to pay attention to the rest of the film and way of act of the actors.
The scene takes place in an elevator. And is extraordinary how it starts and how it ends. A masterpiece of our time.
Stay tuned, I´ll be back with much more staff.

Sant Jordi´s dragon, masks, water and colors
Amazing normal things that make us think_This could be another way to make people understand an architect feelings+ideas either in the moment of a work-piece or during his whole life.
This video is an audiovisual mapping over the Batllo facade, revealing all the symbols and interpretations that inspired the great architect while creating such an exceptional facade.
Architecture Week 2012_TuÑon&MANSILLA
The Royal Collections Museum, Madrid
Emilio Tuñón
gave an interesting and pleasant conference about the new Royal Collections
Museum during Madrid’s Architecture Week. Obviously remembering his partner Luis
Moreno Mansilla, and giving some short references about the city’s history, the
river and the origin of the project, this building appears as a natural
solution for this iconic site, growing up like a inhabited landscape. We face
here a museum to be visited from top to down, culminated with a new access to ‘Campo
del Moro’ Gardens.
This is a
beautiful example of pure architecture. In every phase of the project
development, even during foundations time, it is possible to understand the
work character and intentions. Take a slow and deep look to the new created landscape:
Almudena’s Cathedral finally has a base linking it to the Royal Palace, the
square between both is finished and the present time becomes the link in a very
silent and coherent way. This could be the key of Tuñón & Mansilla work, and
this is the reason why works like this immediately become part of a city.

Delicatessen
(1991)
This is one’s of that things i found by
coincidence any given Sunday...and I was delighted.
"Delicatessen" (1991) is
the first project of french director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and designer Marc Caro.
("City of the Lost Children" (1995), “Amelie” (2001)).
This film may not be for everyone, as
it is a mix of black comedy, sweet romance and surreal fantasy, and might seem at times too close to absurd or to be enjoyable. However, those with a taste for the
bizarre, like me, will find a great movie in this comedy.
Enjoy it!
p.s.: My name is Marijose, a new
member of Arquid’s family, and I hope this could be “the beginning of a
beautiful friendship”, see you soon!

REal scenes that seems like he is spying through a hole_landscaping + interior scenes
Differents windows with difference histories: in the same place, in the same moment, how many histories o how many social events happen? how everyone can see or feel or transmit differents things with the same things. How is our relation?
"The adventure slips"
Many contrasts
Here is a curious contribution by a very good friend:

Placido Domingo's 'Cyrano de Bergerac'
Franco Alfano's (same artist known as the one to finalize Puccini's Turandot) opera had a great successful opening two weeks ago in the Madrid Royal Theater.
Long time forgotten, the tenor and orchest director discovered this masterpiece in Casa Ricordi's archives in Milan. After reading this Ionesco version, he decided to play the opera first in Paris and now in Madrid, which has proven to be a success after 55 minutes of applauding crowd during one of his performances.
Highly recommended.

Following Le Corbusier: Athens
Hereby a glance of our visit. We were surprised of few things:
1.Acropolis reconstruction; it is our opinion that splitting the old pieces ad putting them in the museum provokes demotivation in visitors. Acropolis lost its personality
2. Bernard Tschumi building, a museum duplicating the preexistant acropolis without success.
Will keep you posted

Luis Feijó
Every time i see it, i feel different sensations:
- Intensity textures
- Energy strokes
- Contrasts + color + life
Look for it in Reina Sofía Museum, Madrid
Painting number 179
Antonio López
About Antonio´s works:
"A veces pienso que el futuro se encoge a la misma velocidad que el pasado, y cada vez más rápido! Y delante de esos cuadros uno siente la onda expansiva en los pulmones, como si fuera una mascletá rodada a cámara lenta. Es alucinante ver como para reflejar un paisaje en un instante..... hacen falta veinte años pintando sus transformaciones!!!!
Y me pregunto, ¿cómo se haría eso en la arquitectura?
Esa luz extraña te devora, y a veces es aterradora porque casi te engulle"
